Understanding of Proletarian Internationalism in the Documents of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union in 1950-1960s

Khrushchev's interpretation of proletarian internationalism coincided with the expectations of the Soviet people and youth 40 years after the October Revolution in achieving its goals and objectives. The “calmingˮ moods in the USSR contributed significantly to the fragmentation of the world communist movement. The change in the terminology of the party documents of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union reflected this process. The short-lived radical moods among Soviet youth in the mid-1960s declined in the early 1970s. The fulfillment of the international duty by Soviet youth was reduced to establishing contacts with all youth organizations of the world, regardless of class and political position, and internationalism itself meant nothing more than advertising the achievements of the Soviet country.
